Hey Luke Im curious. I know you moved from Australia to train with Milos and that must have cost a fair amount. I think you are a great bodybuilder but we all know that except for the top 5-8 guys there isnt much $ to be made. I want to know is bodybuilding your only source of Income? Does bodybuilding alone pay for your house, car, bills, food gear ect? Do you do personal training or anything else on the side?
Luke I dont mean this in a disrespectful manner at all I am simply curious as to how someone like yourself can afford to live the bodybuilding lifestyle. I know that you post here and are a straight shooter so I figured what the hell, I'll ask him.
Thank you for your time.

cough cough sell steroids cough cough
-
I think when he lives in australia he stays at his parent's place and works as an armoured car security dude (not bad money i'm told for that...)
Easy opportunity to save $ so that when he goes to the states he can train full time... probably stays with friends over there too...
-
Luke doesn't sell steroids, I can tell you first hand he is too stupid to know how.
Gay for pay is more his style, thats why they call him Luke "Anthony" Wood
-
From what he has stated, and if I'm incorrect I apologize to Mr. Wood. Has a personal training business (does very well), and does do security.
-
Probably Milos has been lending him money?
-
he's a personal trainer, and bounces on the weekend.

smart bodybuilders should always have something to fall back on. especially when their career is not going that well. A pro card is what it is. I used to think a pro card meant welcome to the land of milk and honey, but I was wrong. It's not easy to snatch a pro card, but after they get it, their spinning wheels doesn't seem to go nowhere.

Bingo!!
the dirty little secret of bodybuilding is that MOST pros are either drug dealers or prostitutes./...Ive been in the upper levels of bodybuilding for 20 years......most pro bodybuilders are NOT people youd want over to have dinner with your family....have you ever noticed that a prerequisite for a IFBB Pro Card, little known, is that a bodybuilder have at least one felony conviction to qualify. Look it uo.

Not sure where these "upper levels" of bb are where you come from...but the things you mentioned are NOT the norm. The overwhelming majority of pro's in the "upper levels" have contracts and make good money...I would guess there are more guys in the NFL that have a record proportionally.

bs.
most bbers cant live of these contracts alone. Guys like you and Shawn could cause you are very driven and have a good business sence.
-
True....and some don't live off their contracts alone...they also don't sell drugs or do G4P...Mark Dugdale owns his own business, Dareem Charles runs a very successful pt business in Fla., etc......
The farther down the list you go, the bigger the % of these things are done....simple.

Dareem Charles has a waiting list for clients for his personal training business................
that's awesome! (6-7 clients per day @ $80-$100 per hr........do the math)

If that's his price, some people are really dumb. Who would pay a pro bodybuilder $100 per hour to "train" them? :-\
-
If that's his price, some people are really dumb. Who would pay a pro bodybuilder $100 per hour to "train" them? :-\
People pay regular certified trainers at my gym $70 $80 and $90 dollars per hour to train them
(a lot of people pay this) .... im sure to have a pro-bodybuilder like Darrem Charles train you is going to cost you more
can't argue with the results tho...................i have 2 clients completly off there heart medication and both have dropped 60 + pounds.................. .......it's what your health is worth to you in terms of money
-
If that's his price, some people are really dumb. Who would pay a pro bodybuilder $100 per hour to "train" them? :-\
People pay approximately $40 an hour in my gym to have someone teach them to sit on a swiss ball or hold boxing pads up...

Pathetic.
The only way I'm waying someone $100/hour is if he can make me even more money or keep me out of jail.

I SECOND this! At the Arnold expo...Ed and I interviewd him and after we finished we both looked at eachother with absolutel disgust. Probably the absolute WORST interview. Guy was as dumb as a fkn tree stump. Every joke Ed threw at him got a...'huh?' response.
Ed mentiond how his arms looked good and didn't show nasty signs of site-injections like other guys(giving him a compliment)...Luke goes...'I do not know what those are...I do not know about things like that...'
Ed then asked him about his future shows and his plans to which he replies...'I, uh...just workout you know?'
Yea. He may be cool on here but I agree...he's either a trust fund baby or a typical bodybuilder who lives at home and has everything paved away for him by parents.

milos charges 350 an hour...and still has a shitload of clients. As long as people are willing to pay these prices, the pro's will keep charging them

haha and the only thing you hug are the squads nuts

Like Block has said before, most pro bb'ers sell or have sold gear at one time. A few of them then put the profits into a legit business like a gym. Many of the big supplements companies have also been started with profits from steroid dealing. Wasn't Bill Phillips a steroid dealer at one time?
Chick, how many pros would you say have NEVER sold gear? Very, very few I'd say.
-
Fair question.
-
People pay regular certified trainers at my gym $70 $80 and $90 dollars per hour to train them
WOW, hold up. Up to $90 per hour? Damn, I could get a good whore for less than that for an hour, and probable have a lot better workout.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Too funny.

When I stayed in Tampa for a few weeks a few years ago, I entertained myself with a man called Mr. Chris Duffy.
He was a professional bodybuilder.
-

Well you'd have to be VERY wealthy to pay a trainer $350/hour, so if they have that much money to waste then God bless the dumb fucks.
-
I'd like to know the same thing about Flex Lewis - how does he make his $$$$ - he's only like 22 and practically lives in the States these days. How did he get his green card - does Milos sponsor him or something?
-
99% of clients are middle aged overweight men and women..................t hey have 0 desire to look like a pro-bb
they just wan't to get in shape for health and cosmetic reasons
Then why do they train with him?
-
Blockhead, his parents don't make much money at all his family is involved in policing etc.
-
Luke, what do you have to say?
-
Blockhead, his parents don't make much money at all his family is involved in policing etc.
Hmmm...I just took a wild guess. It was more based on comparison with lots of National Level guys I know who still suckle off mamas tit.
Chick will deny deny deny as he is also a PR agent for AMI and whatever company he reps for.
There is not a single competitive bodybuilder who hasn't sold gear to his friends or others to make extra $$$ to subsidize his cycles and for extra scratch as they do their best to coast by and focus ONLY on eating, sleeping, training, tanning and basic travel expenses.
Most BB's live 'nig ga rich'.
Good question. How does Jimmy Lewis afford to stay here in the states? Does he have a day job? PT at Golds-Venice? PT at Milos' gym? Sponsors? g4p?
-
"NIG GA RICH"
Chick....dont you drive an ESCALADE?

Of course this is what you think...you live in fantasyland.
I only deny that which is untrue...are there guys that sell gear? of course....no big revelation there. I've never sold gear to make money, I owned my own gym for 9 years,and a limo service to make a living.....there are plenty of other examples as i already mentioned a few.
-
Then why do they train with him?
They like to brag show people pictures and say "This is my trainer!"

Chick, from your personal encounters with pro bodybuilders would you say the majority of them run legit businesses like yourself to get by, or that the majority are into shady practices to earn a living, like selling gear, G4P?? We all know Kamali lived in his parents basement until he was 33 and now gets supported by his wife, but what about other bodybuilders you know personally?

I am a little disappointed that he does't wake up at 4:45am to have a whey protein shake/omega 3 and 1/3 baked potatoe. What is he thinking, he will never grow.
-
that guy must have no life. when will these guys learn that you dont have to eat every 2 hours??

haahahaha neurotic bodybuilders are funny
-
They like to brag show people pictures and say "This is my trainer!"
But Mike anyone who has the disposable income to pay 80-90$ /hr is usually a "baby-Boomer" "geriatriac" age demographic and are NOT there because of the "look" of the trainer. Like you SAID before, they are there for general health reasons, Something an IFBB BBer knows VERY LITTLE about. I mean take Oprah for example, her trainer doesnt even look like he works out and we both know she could afford any rainer she wants. Please speak on this.
-
i worked as personal trainer..it was just an excuse to fuck milfs, and have em pay me ;D
its easy as hell. just write a simple workout routine.takes me 2min. then tell em to eat healthy.
in the gym you just keep em going as most of them have zero motivation or will to workout.
-

OK.................this months issue of Muscular Developement has a small "blurb" on me (page 54)
most of my clients (age range 35 - 65) have seen/bought this magazine to show/brag to their friends
""look who my personal trainer is"...............can you imagine if i was Darrem Charles?!?!?!?!
this is Palm Beach................... ..it's like a status thing (like a Lexus or mercedes)
"My trainer is a professional bodybuilder!"................if the trainer has any sort of "celebrity
status he is going to be in demand.............that's how it is here (not sure about other places)
-
Being a busy trainer has nothing to do with your "look".....ever been to Golds Venice and met "perry"? No body whatsover and is one of the busiest trainers at Golds...personality, marketing savy, business approach......all mean more than 21 inch arms or a stupid trainer certification.......
Are some of you so thick that you dont know "personal trainer" is code for prostitute/drug dealer/unemployed? These "gurus" (glass, chad, hany) are just glorified dealers...do you really think there is some special way to do a curl that Charles Glass can teach you which will give you 20 inch arms?
can anyone name the professions of the top ten at the Arnold? Ill bet 3/4 are "trainers" like the the NJ pro that just got busted.
Chick lives in a little bubble.....sure, he has a job (for now) after bodybuilding sputters out (and it is a dying sport, ask me for proof) what is he gonna do next? Even if he s making 100K per year, thats NOTHING in LA...whats he gonna fall back on (and your rich inlaws dont count)? whats he gonna do, pick up his career where arnold left off?
-
"NIG GA RICH"
Chick....dont you drive an ESCALADE?
Kamali is the posterboy for this. Wasn't he trying to trick out his Hummer to be better then his "friend" Ludacris'? Or has that been repossessed already.

Amazing...it's been a "dying sport" for 40 years now, yet there are more contracts than at any other time, more supp companies, more fans at the Olympia, etc...
I do many things that encompass the sport of bb, and have investments in companies that have continued to get bigger and make more money every year...
-
Okay....Ive been in the sport for 25 years...in the 80s, teen contests in bodybuilding were EVERYWHERE, with even local shows having 80-90+ contestants....in those days, if you werenta pro by 25, forget it.
Those teens are now masters....with disposable income, mind you, ...which is why the supplement industry is doing okay, and why masters competitions are outstanding in quality with many comepetitors....compare the current NPC Teen Nationals with the NPC MAsters nationals.....it makes sense that companies are doing well financially....what happensover te next 20 years when there are no aging teens to fill the ranks?
Why are pros older these days? Because the gene pool of younger guys is DYING.
In the 80s, most gyms hada few teens interested in competing...that is almost nonexistent now, with most guys in their late 30s-40s the ones filling that slot. Contracts? Vince Mcmahan helped start that, maybe PDI will continue it, but even recently weider/ami tightened their contract belts
Id rethink those investments!
-
Of all people, Chick....
youve noticed the change over the course of your career...or have you been to self centered to notice it? When you were in your twenties, all your contemporaries got pro cards (shawn ray,etc) in their twenties....you got yours in your thirties.....do you think you were that good....or do you think taht teh aggressive up and comers were gone, leaving a door open for some of the guys that kept hanging in there?
-
I'd like to know the same thing about Flex Lewis - how does he make his $$$$ - he's only like 22 and practically lives in the States these days. How did he get his green card - does Milos sponsor him or something?
Ok, so it's not just me that wonders about that then. He seems to do a fair amount of traveling and he obviously has other expenses (food, drugs, clothes, etc) How the hell does he do it?? lol Seems like a nice guy though, always smiling in pics. Wouldn't mind seeing him do another fit show segment as his one on calf training was pretty good. Needs subtitles sometimes though, lol.

Anwsear the question Chick.

Just like any maturing industry, there are always many startups at the beginning. Then later on, the only companies who are left are the strongest ones. Few new startups appear, and only ones with huge backing.
Same with bbing. In the 70-80's it was maturing and easy to break into the ranks. Now, its more mature and everyone wants to do it, so those with the power can be very picky and choosy. And only the creme of the crop rise to the top.
Also, since the bar has been raised, the cost has also gone up. Both cost and resources. Now, you need a team to get anywhere (dietitian, guru, trainer, source, etc.). You need a fairly large disposable income and plenty of time. Before, any schmuck could get on stage with no team and a very small expense.
This is why pros today are older.
oh yeah right, bodybuilding is so complicated that no aspiring 20 year old could get it done...so that obviously explains why teen bodybuilding contests are non existent. Shawn ray at the 87 nationals was just some 21 year old schmuck........

Bingo!!
the dirty little secret of bodybuilding is that MOST pros are either drug dealers or prostitutes./...Ive been in the upper levels of bodybuilding for 20 years......most pro bodybuilders are NOT people youd want over to have dinner with your family....have you ever noticed that a prerequisite for a IFBB Pro Card, little known, is that a bodybuilder have at least one felony conviction to qualify. Look it uo.
how'd ronnie get his and then become a cop?
you cant be a cop with a felony.

Chick chooses not to answear my question as he knows damn well that he is the exception in being a bodybuilding who sustains his lifestyle with a legit job.

what part of MOST do you have a problem understanding?
-
Obviously you know nothing about bodybuilding.
why do i have a feeling your some 16 year old wannabe typing away in his parents basement? Oh, and muscletech WILL NOT deliver better results than steroids, either

Fair question.

I SECOND this! At the Arnold expo...Ed and I interviewd him and after we finished we both looked at eachother with absolutel disgust. Probably the absolute WORST interview. Guy was as dumb as a fkn tree stump. Every joke Ed threw at him got a...'huh?' response.
Ed mentiond how his arms looked good and didn't show nasty signs of site-injections like other guys(giving him a compliment)...Luke goes...'I do not know what those are...I do not know about things like that...'
Ed then asked him about his future shows and his plans to which he replies...'I, uh...just workout you know?'
Yea. He may be cool on here but I agree...he's either a trust fund baby or a typical bodybuilder who lives at home and has everything paved away for him by parents.

I also have a contract with 6 Star Muscle fuel. When i go to the US i take a 3 mth visa and train there normally anywhere from 6 to 8 weeks before the show. I will stay normally for another 4 weeks or so after the shows are done. This time i did'nt as i had to get back for the Aussie pro show.

Why? It's just the truth.
He is sitting there with some fancy creatine-glutamine-sugar-"super-secret-miracle-ingredient-that-doesn't-do-shit"-supplement box and has to tell everyone that's where his muscles come from.
When someone comes up to him and asks about roids he starts lying and playing dumb.
Now that's nasty. ;D ;D ;D
-
Well, I think that was as dumb as they come to go ask a pro about site injection at an expo. What did they expect Luke to answer. I know some other pros who would have curse them out. Luke was nice about it. They should have approched Kamali with the same questions ;)
